What are you doing to cope with a sex starved marriage?

I am dealing with a bit of a low-sex marriage, but the reasons
are understandable. My current husband works two jobs so
that I can stay home with our son and raise him. I love him for
that. He sometimes works two jobs in the same day (16 hr
shifts). I understand why sometimes he just can't muster up
the energy for some bedroom acrobatics. I am glad that he
does put in the effort once a week or so... so that I still feel
attractive, loved, appreciated, and intimate with him. My
sex drive has readjusted to his frequency... I am not saying
that everyone else should settle, by all means... If there is no
or low sex drive for other reasons such as cheating, or he/she
is just not attracted to you anymore, than by all means, leave
for someone who appreciates you. You can't live on battery-
operated toys alone... It is the effort that counts. If there is no
effort, than there is not a lot of respect or love left for you to stay.

most of this applies to a female though.Im not too sure what kind of battery operated toys are out there for men though.I guess you could try a massage parlor!

Lack of sex and attention is my reason for considering leaving. I've got to have some. Taking care of myself is not helping. It's not fair is it. trying to distract myself by being here with people to talk to.

Yeah I was definitely referring to bob that's for sure!!  Nothin' wrong with it, but it's definitely a substitute that's for sure.  I'd rather have the real thing in front of me but until then.....there's bob and lots of freakin' batteries.  ;)

I think what freedom is talking about is called a vibrator and also known as a B.O.B (battery operated boyfriend). And yes, bob is only a substitute for the real thing, but when the real thing isn't there, what's the harm in bob? Ye, and true, keep plenty of batteries on hand. ~ Ye, I know, I'm a guy so I do I know about such things... I lived in Las Vegas over and on for 11 yrs. Even guys learn things in vegas.

We'd gone without for so long, I had little doubt I could make it.

Finally, though, his willpower proved just a bit less powerful than mine.

Well I'm divorced now, but there's a lovely thing I've been recently introduced to and I wish I would have tried this alot earlier in my life--that is....toys....battery operated toys and that's all I'm sayin'.   Let me tell ya I keep plenty of batteries on hand!! :)
